A Question About The Ever Popular Wasc Cake...

I am going to attempt to make the WASC cake for a cake I have to do this weekend. I know, I've always read not to use a new recipe for a cake you have to make for someone else but I am allowing a long enough time line so if it doesn't turn out, I can "do-over"

My first question is, can I use the base of this recipe for a chocolate cake? Just use chocolate cake mix but keep everything else the same?

Thanks so much for the help guys! So with both of these versions, do they produce a moist but firm cake? The chocolate cake is going to be my bottom layer so I am looking to hopefully firm it up a bit from just a regular box mix...

I have actually made the wasc with a chocolate cake mix and not added any cocoa - everyone loves it and very rich and chocolatey! I do make sure and use a strong chocolate cake mix though - usually DH fudge, devil's food, etc.

To Clarify - I use the WASC recipe that uses oil. I have also melted chocolate and swirled it in the cake - YUM!
